Its Joe Buck and a national telecast.

Joe Buck has NO IDEA who Joakim Soria is.

concetrate and be consistent

and Joe Buck won't even tell you about it

because Soria doesn’t pitch for the Cardinals or play for the Yanks or Sox and has no visible ties to Yankee STadium

Anyone remember Joe Buck's call of Tyree's catch in the Super Bowl?

One of the most exciting plays and catches in sports history, and Joe Buck deadpanned like it was a pop fly to a 2B or a pass out of bounds.

That was when I learned to hate that man.

If Aviles turns out like Uggla, we will compete next season if we sign somebody like Adam Dunn. Because that would be an improvement from his current supposedly inflated production.
